The veneration fever of the south Korean people for leader Kim Jong Il who demonstrates the dignity and honor of the nation throughout the world by dint of the great Songun politics is getting more ardent day after day.

The “Seoul Citizens Committee for the Study of Leader Kim Jong Il” carried the following article on the greatness of the leader on its internet homepage.

“Thanks to the Songun politics pursued by Kim Jong Il, chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK, a new era of independent reunification and peace and prosperity is emerging on the Korean Peninsula.

The Songun politics is the crystallization of the faith, volition and pluck of the chairman, the greatest general of generals.

Chairman Kim Jong Il is opening a new chapter in history of the Korean nation and humankind on the strength of Songun.

Hit hard by the consecutive blows of north Korea led by chairman Kim Jong Il, the US was knocked out and kneeled down in the end.

Overpowering all other political leaders of the world, Chairman Kim Jong Il is opening up a new prospect ahead of mankind as the greatest man of great men.”

The internet homepage of the Solidarity for Implementing the South-North Joint Declaration posted a write-up under the title “Chairman of the National Defence Commission Kim Jong Il is the incarnation of love and trust.”

It said; “the politics of chairman Kim Jong Il is the politics of love and comradeship.

He has weathered out the ordeals and hardships with his comrades singing the “Song of Comradeship”, and resolutely smashed the imperialists’ moves to isolate and strangle the DPRK.

 Today the sublime comradeship of chairman Kim Jong Il is the motive power propelling north Korea forward.

As far as the chairman’s annals of sublime comradeship and the long journey of love continue, socialism of north Korea will demonstrate its fame as the paradise of people's happiness, the world model of politics and the invincible power.”

The admiration fever of the south Korean people who hold in high esteem and follow leader Kim Jong Il as the sun of the nation and the lodestar of the reunification is really sincere and ardent.

Let’s Oust Lee Myong-bak Regime by All-people Struggle!

 

- The All-people Movement Headquarters for Checking the South Korea-US FTA called a press conference in front of the National Assembly building in Seoul on October 22 demanding the stop of coercive handling of the motion for ratifying the FTA by the National Assembly.

There the vice chairmen of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions and the National Federation of Peasants Associations and others said if the controversial FTA was passed at the National Assembly the south Korean economy will inevitably face the second trusteeship era of the IMF.

- The National Trade Union of Government Employees issued a statement on October 23 denouncing the measure of the puppet Ministry of Unification to disallow the visit to Pyongyang of a delegation of the south Korean Confederation of Trade Unions.

The statement, expressing irrepressible indignation over the government’s unjust measure, stressed that the authorities should stop the acts blocking the exchange and cooperation of the south and north Korean government employees for implementing the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration.

- The former and incumbent journalists of media organizations including the Korean Federation of Press Unions, the New Press Forum and the Journalists’ Association of Korea staged a candlelit action in Seoul on October 24 in denunciation of the moves of the Lee Myong-bak clique to control the media circles.

Made public there was a declaration on the situation signed by some 7,800 journalists.

The declaration condemned the Lee Myong-bak regime for pursuing the biased media policy in a bid to privatize the public broadcastings and make them monopoly of the ruling power.

After the meeting the participants wrapped the building of the “Associated TV News” with the grand placard written with the names of the undersigned on the declaration and conducted a protest action.

Meanwhile, unionists of several organizations under the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions formed a joint struggle team in demand of guarantee of the rights to existence and conducted mass haircutting and hunger and sit-down strikes on a power-transmission tower near the Yanghwa Bridge.

Beneath the tower a struggle took place in supporting the strikes on the tower.

- On October 25 more than 100 civic organizations including the Solidarity for Progress in South Korea and the netizens’ group held in Seoul an inaugural ceremony of the National Association for People's Livelihood and Democracy, a solidarity body against Lee Myong-bak.

Speakers there indicated that the government is enforcing the policy against the people's livelihood and democracy including the privatization of public sectors and health domain, and the association would wage the campaign to frustrate it together with citizens.

In particular, they stressed that if the Lee Myong-bak clique does not switch to a people-centered policy they would stage a large-scale struggle against the regime including the convening of a big rally on the situation in November.

The anti-nation, anti-people and anti-reunification moves of the Lee Myong-bak clique which pushes the inter-Korean relations into a catastrophe negating the historic June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration, and mercilessly infringes upon the south Korean people’s democratic freedom and the right to existence will only result in its self-destruction.
